Vom Zürcher Straußenhandel zu Nietzsches Basler Straußiade: David Friedrich Strauß als Märtyrer
No full textAfter his “Leben Jesu” (1835) and his unsuccessful vocation in Zurich Strauß developed, according to the social analysis of cultural reproduction theory by Pierre Bourdieu, the habitus of a victim of his own belief, a martyr. This habitus is shown in the works he wrote after the end of his academic theological career. In “Leben und Schriften des Dichters Nicodemus Frischlin” (1856) and in “Ulrich von Hutten” (1858) he portrays two authors who were both unsuccessful in their work and their lives and became victims of their beliefs. Not only these biographies but also the translation of Huttens Latin oeuvres modified Strauß’ habitus: in giving popularity to forgotten authors and works he felt that the time had come to rehabilitate his “Leben Jesu”, especially because he considered it to be a milestone of theological development. He thus modified the habitus of a martyr into the habitus of a risen hero. Instead of creating a new edition of his “Leben Jesu” he wrote the popular version “Leben Jesu, für das deutsche Volk bearbeitet” (1864), followed by “Der alte und der neue Glaube” (1872). Nietzsche’s very polemic critique of this last work in “Unzeitgemässe Betrachtung” (1873) deals closely with the modified habitus of Strauß and shows the latter to have become yet again a martyr of his own beliefs
Der Zürcher Arzt Georg Keller und seine Studienzeit in Lausanne (1549/50)
No full textAfter a survey of the studies and the later life of Georg Keller (Cellarius), the article concentrates on his time at Lausanne. Traugott Schieß in his summaries of the student’s letters to Gwalther, 1906, and Karine Crousaz in her study of the early time of the Academy of Lausanne, 2012, differ considerably in their dating of Keller’s stay there and in dating a crucial letter. Using the correspondence of Pierre Viret and of the other Zurich student then at Lausanne, Josua Maler, provided more clarity in dating Keller’s letters, in which they praise the quality and importance of the Academy for learning French and the classical and biblical languages
